after my dearest Mum was diagnosed with lung cancer on Christmas. We'd already been all over Perth for a variety of scans and biopsies and were optimistic that it had been caught early and would be 'easy to treat'. As you can imagine we're all heart-broken and Christmas was a rather rough time. We did enjoy a meal together in the evening on Christmas Day and Mum was in good spirits. and certainly well enough to photo-bomb 2 of her great-grandchildren...
On Dec 29th she had another biopsy which confirmed lung cancer(Mum stopped smoking over 40 yrs ago btw) so at the moment her oncologist is waiting to see if the tumour has a mutation that will let him treat her with tablets rather than IV chemo. Her next appointment is on Jan 21st~ we're very pleased she can have the treatment locally instead of having to travel miles and that she has one of the best oncologists in WA.
There is already pain in her lung when she lies down and she suffers nausea which is really spoiling her (in)famous appetite too but she remains her loving and strong self.
One day at a time again...Priscilla's tumour has stabilised and she's enjoying relatively good health these days so that is a big blessing.
Please keep them close to your hearts
Love from Sue
